By default, the jamulus binary can function as:
|
|
|
|
- Client with GUI (default mode, X and jackd must be running)
|
|
- Server with GUI (-s option, only X must be running)
|
|
- Headless server (-s and -n options, neither X nor jackd required)
|
|
|
|
Even though the headless mode doesn't require a running X server,
|
|
it still requires the qt4 and X11 shared libraries. There's no way to
|
|
compile jamulus without these.
|
|
|
|
If you launch jamulus from the desktop start menu, you'll get the client.
|
|
If you want to run a server, you'll have to either run it from the command
|
|
line, or create a different launcher/shortcut for jamulus as a server.
|
|
|
|
If you want to run a headless server that starts at boot time (like
|
|
a regular daemon), currently the best way to do this is to call it
|
|
from /etc/rc.d/rc.local. There's no "daemon" option, so you'll have to
|
|
background it with &, and redirect stdout/stderr somewhere (see also
|
|
the -l <logfile> option).
|
|
|
|
If you *really* want to build a dedicated jamulus server, you can do so
|
|
by setting SERVERONLY=yes in the SlackBuild's environment. In this case,
|
|
you can ignore the REQUIRES="jack" line in the .info file.
|
|
|
|
The resulting jamulus binary will work exactly as the regular jamulus,
|
|
except it doesn't make sound nor accept audio input from your instrument.
|
|
It'll only be useful as a server (with -s and possibly also -n).
|
|
|
|
The *only* reason to ever do this is if you really *really* don't want
|
|
to install jack for some reason.
|
|
|
|
For those who want to complain that I shouldn't have listed jack as
|
|
required: It *is* required, for the *normal* use case. Building without
|
|
JACK support is a very specialized thing, not useful to the general
|
|
population of users.
